Before I was even engaged I had sought out James & Jess photography for years! They are not only an incredibly talented couple but they are also the nicest humans you will ever meet! They made my husband and I feel at ease the entire wedding day! The directions they provide you to create an effortless shot are so simple and fun! We felt so incredibly comfortable & safe to share such an intimate day with them! The photos are beyond fantastic as I know we will cherish them forever! Highly recommend James & Jess.

WOW these are so perfect!! You are truly the best. We will cherish these for a lifetime. I would say I’m shocked by how amazing these photos are but based on getting to know you this is no accident. You capture the most amazing moments in the most beautiful of ways and make us and our families feel so comfortable in the process. We are so incredibly lucky to have found the two of you and I am sure every bride, groom and, nervous marriage proposer would agree with me. You are truly the best. Thank you thank you thank you.
